I am hoping, given the impressive charts so far, that we get more of the same in agreement .......otherwise I fear my sanity is most certainly going to fail me!!

Thank you, sorry if it was a bit off topic, but I should of listened to Stephen yesterday!!...I will continue to try and not look too deeply into each and every model run but remain as confused as the data is at the present time!!

hmmm, I would of thought that there would be more data collecting from any possible blocking feature, especially with respect to a previous run which showed that really deep low pressure system out to our s/w....surely if that met any substantial cold blocking to our east the out come would be quite serious indeed....not saying that would happen, but surely it has to be borne in mind?

Thank you iceberg....I was not aware that there were that many 'streams' and that many individual sources..no wonder theres so much confusion when trying to come to some sort of guided outcome and agreement with the models. Does this also apply to the American and Euro models?

do you mean todays model outputs? edit....do you mean in respect of todays model outputs so far?

Hello weather watchers!....missing data?...please can someone explain this coz im both nervous and confused ?

As a newbie, I'm still lost in all this 'flippin' and 'changing' of the models and runs, enough to mek anyone dizzy !!...do I take it that generally, we still dont know what to expect in terms of any forthcoming 'pattern' or favourable agreement of the weather? Incidentally, wet snow here in Huddersfield, then rain, then wet snow again!!..it feels cold but not sure how cold. Also, is the Meto's forcast for heavy snow on wednesday to be relied upon?

Wet snow falling here too in huddersfield, not sure what the temperature is but it feels cold!! The Meto have advisories for W.Yorkshire for heavy snow for wednesday....would be nice to get a few centimetres again, but not sure it would last long!

I was only talking about this 18Z GFS Easterly just a minute ago!

I'm actally a 'coldie'!!....and I respect his forcast, and the forecasters before him who, for some time have been hinting at this cold coming from the east, including my local forecaster (Paul Hudson....interesting reading his blog), that is why I am of the opinion that the UKMO must be following a certain set of models etc to be sticking to this 'eastie'!

Maybe the UKMO are onto something that no-one else knows, regardless of what the models are showing?

apologies, new here and still learning..

with ice as stubborn as it was a week ago, you needed a chizel let alone elbow grease!!

Thank you for responding, however, I am not sure where you got those temps from, I lived in south wales at the time and it was very, very cold for a considerable length of time with high snow drifts all over the place. It was so cold with blizzards that made the snow stick to the windows!!!! (amongst other places!!), but I'm gonna stick to my guns here.....theres a beast from the east who's been barking on our doorstep for way too long to give up now!!

I am often extremely impressed with the experience and professionalism you people have in relation to our weather. I try very hard to follow and try to understand the 'ensembles', 'runs' etc that you all refer to and the UKMO's outlook and predictions, But, I would back you anyday and seriously think you should apply, as a group possibly, for the post at the UKMO. I am still of the opinion, after following your views based on the models etc and your own opinions that we are very likely to see another winter of '82' coming up. I say this based on my own experience of that winter and the similar trends to what we have seen so far, and to your own opinions. P.S.....I did NOT mention any seagulls , but my cat has been behaving strangely since our first bout of nasty weather hit us.

The latter for me.....bring on those blizzards and bone chillin temps and be done wiv it!!

I agree!!...however, even though I am an absolute novice at all this weather watching, charts etc, the forecast on bbc news at six said the easterly cold is going to return???...does this mean literally or is it still a battlefield scenario on wed's?

If you go to the NASA webpage, there is indeed, something hurtling towards us and they are aware of it, I think it's called 'Nabiru'...so not all of it is 'tosh'.....tho I AM worried by this supposed firing of 'HAARP'.....very worried.

Maybe, just maybe, this 'super-computer' has some gremlins floating around it's circuit boards causing all these charts to be all over the place!!!

LoL I am not sure about Mirfield, but here I would say about 2-3cms and still snowing!...havent been outside to measure it as I've got a stinking cold, but very easily the depth I've just mentioned if not a tad more. It started off very fine and grainey but gathered pace to give moderate but occasionally heavier burst. I am a complete novice at all this but I do remember the early eighties event when I lived in south wales, it was so cold the very heavy and drifting snow was sticking to and coming into my bedroom window. We ended up with 5 foot snowdrifts ( a lot deeper in places) and had to dig our way out!!!.......although my memory isnt that good, this winter so far, reminds me of that winter in that the pattern that seems to be playing out right now is so similar.

Still snowing here too in Huddersfield, a good covering and loving it!! But I bet it's going to be an absolute nightmare on the roads and pavements again in the rush hour period. Still cold...-1.

LoL, no offence to any weathermen, but with the way the weather has been behaving lately, it must be a nightmare to predict even the next 24 hours let alone the next few days!

Paul Hudson seems to think so!!!!

I wasnt sure as we seem to be on one hell of a rollercoaster ride with the weather. Huddersfield here, been snowing for a few hours, light to moderate...good covering. I have never, ever, heard of people having to walk on their hands and knees on the pavements and roads before because the ice was so bad!!

Paul hudson on look north thinks we will be back to cold at the begining of next week, with the possibility of some snow on saturday.....does this mean it will be getting cold, a little colder, or very cold...any thoughts??
